How to set retention policy for deleted items? Exchange 2007
hi everyone, the company I'm supporting wants to implement a retention policy for the deleted items folder, from what I can tell I have to go to the EMC > Org > Mailbox > Manage Default Folders > then right click on deleted items and set the "new managed content settings". the only thing that concerns me is it doesnt specify in the summary at the end that this will only apply to the Deleted Items folder. can anyone confirm this? thanks!

Have you read through the MRM documentation? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310756(EXCHG.80).aspxNeil Hobson, Exchange MVP

Sorry, my last reply wasn't that helpful. Better answer : go ahead and create the managed content settings for the deleted items folder - when created, you will see that these managed contents settings appear as a sub-folder of the deleted items default folder. That should be enough to show you it only applies to this folder. We have a similar thing for the calendar folder here and nothing has been deleted from other folders. You still have to create a policy, link it with the managed content settings and then schedule the assistant to run so nothing will be deleted until this happens. Neil Hobson, Exchange MVP
